Chapter 1049 We Need Support!

"..."

"..."

Shepard and the larva stared at each other without speaking for a while.

What is this? Why did Fangzheng give this to himself?

Shepard couldn't figure it out. She remembered it clearly. Fangzheng said that if you encounter difficulties, you should open this box. Originally, Shepard thought there might be some secret weapon or something inside, but... what is it

If it was an ordinary woman, she might scream out just by seeing the larva in front of her, but Shepard is a battle-hardened iron-blooded woman, and she has seen all the most disgusting things in the universe. Naturally, it's nothing, but... how to get this thing?

"commander!"

Just when Shepard was puzzled, Cayden's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Hearing the shouts of her subordinates, Shepard also shook her head and put her doubts aside, then she picked up the lid and "snapped" the box again, then stood up with the box and opened the door, and outside the door , Kaiden was watching her nervously.

"Are you all right, Commander?"

"I'm fine, get ready, let's go."

Having said this, Shepard threw the box in his hand to Cayden.

"Here, take this thing."

"what is this?"

"Birthday Cake!"

Facing Kayden's inquiry, Shepard rolled his eyes angrily, then picked up the gun and strode outside, while Kayden was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed with the box in his hand.

"You are amazing, Commander, how do you know that today is my birthday..."

The battle is still going on.

When Shepard and his party left the wreckage in Normandy, they immediately moved to the nearest command post, but the Reapers were obviously well prepared, and their first wave of attacks directly killed all the important facilities and buildings of the Star Alliance. So much so that Shepard is currently unable to contact other troops at all. Thanks to her reputation as the ghost of the castle, she also gathered a lot of remnants along the way, and finally found a place to settle down while it was dark.

but………

"It was just a nightmare."

Looking at the burning city outside, Anderson sighed exhaustedly. He originally hoped that Shepard could leave the earth and find reinforcements elsewhere. But I didn't expect that Shepard's Normandy was also shot down. This is a disaster. The Normandy is the most advanced warship manufactured by the Star Federation and the Turians. Even this battleship was killed by the Reapers. Where else can I find a battleship?

Having said that, are there still usable battleships on Earth now?

"They attacked the Star Federation headquarters, the command post, and even the Fleet Command. As you said, Shepard, these monsters came prepared. To be honest, I wanted you to seek supportive, but..."

Looking at the scene outside the window, Anderson shook his head helplessly, while Shepard, who was standing beside him, frowned, then she hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Lieutenant General Anderson, in fact, I have something to report to you."

"What's up?"

"Do you still remember that you asked me to give an order to investigate the mysterious force that came out of the wandering galaxy?"

"Oh... You said Tiandao Palace... Of course I know about this, what's wrong?"

Of course, Anderson is no stranger to this. After all, it is very rare for a power that can be speechless and suffer a dark loss from the Citadel Council. Although Anderson is currently a member of the Citadel Council, he is also quite dark in his heart. of.

"It's like this. At that time, I led them to the Citadel according to the order of the council, but because of what happened on the way, after solving the troubles of the Geth, I separated from them. Just now, I suddenly remembered He gave me a gift before he left, saying he could use it when I needed help."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Anderson immediately cheered up.

"What is it? Is it some kind of weapon?"

"………it is this."

"……………what is this?"

Anderson looked at the poking larva in the box in Shepard's hand in front of him, and he also looked confused.

"I don't know either, from the outside, it should be a bug..."

"So? This is a gift from the other party? Isn't this deliberately making you happy?"

"I don't think it should be..."

Speaking of this, Shepard is actually a bit undecided, but right now they really have nothing to do, they can only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"So, how do you use this thing? It doesn't mean you need to eat it?"

"………No way………"

Looking at the larvae in the box in front of him, Shepard's hairs also stood on end, how can I eat this thing? Is it baked?

"Are you going to use it?"

"I want to give it a try, but General Anderson...I'm not sure if the other party is willing to help..."

Even if Shepard is not a politician, she also understands that this is not as simple as a fight between two people, a brother's loyalty, a disagreement, "Brother, go and avenge you", it is as simple as a happy enmity, it involves a relationship between two camps The problem, that is to say, even if the Tiandao Palace is willing to assist, I am afraid that the Star Alliance needs to provide enough benefits to make the other party nod.

And Shepard doesn't have this kind of authority. No matter how powerful she is, she is just a ghost of the castle, and she is not qualified to make such a decision.

In fact, neither did Anderson, he was only a lieutenant general after all.

As for those who are eligible... Well, unfortunately, they were all taken away by the Reapers just now.

"………Try it."

Anderson hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth hard.

"I will bear all the responsibilities. As you said, if this continues, human beings may be completely destroyed. In the face of this crisis, everything else is secondary. Now, we can only hope that the Tiandao Palace will put forward Don't go too far..."

Having said that, Anderson once again looked at the larva in the box in front of him.

"So, how do you use this thing?"

"..."

Well, this question is back to the original point.

"Could it be to let it out... Try it?"

Shepard was also a little undecided, but based on her understanding of Fang Zheng, the other party should not give her this thing for food. So she also turned to the box and put the larva on the ground.

"Slap."

The larva fell to the ground with a snap, and then moved slowly like a snail. Shepard and Anderson watched the larva slowly crawl along the ruins to the garden not far away, and then they saw a A kind of purple, something like some kind of weird moss gradually spread from the larva, and the next moment, the larva curled up into a ball, and then a layer of film lifted it up, gradually turning into a... ……Egg?

"..."

What is this operation?

Looking at the "egg" that grew bigger and bigger like a ball, the two continued to look confused, but when Shepard was about to go forward and take a multi-tool to scan the situation, they only heard the "egg" Suddenly it shattered with a "pop", and then a flat monster that looked like some kind of bug appeared from inside. It looked about the size of a person, with bat-like wings on both sides of its body. Things, there are scorpion-like pincers in front of it...

"I said, are you sure the other party is not planning to trouble you?"

Anderson is also a little uneasy at the moment, after all, the monster in front of him doesn't look like a good thing...

"Probably not..."

Shepard's tone was not so sure at the moment, but what else could she do? Can only watch.

Not only that, Shepard also discovered at this moment that along with the action of that weird bug, the weird moss under its body seemed to be slowly spreading...

Then Shepard saw the weird worm suddenly swell, and then turned into a huge sarcoma, covering almost half of the garden!

"...What should we do now?"

As he spoke, Anderson took out his gun and aimed at the wriggling tumor—well, you can’t blame Anderson for being sensitive, after all, the appearance of the swarm...

Understandable and understandable.

"No, let's wait and see, I don't think Fangzheng will lie to me..."

"Da da da!!!"

Just as Shepard stopped Anderson, suddenly, a series of gunshots rang out, followed by shouts from outside.

"Enemy attack! It's a corpse puppet!!"

Hearing this, the two also looked at each other, then hurriedly turned and rushed out.

And no one noticed that in the garden, this "sarcoma" was getting bigger and bigger...
